GenSwiss' Multidec-Lube coolant-through
toolholder clamp for CNC Swiss machines
permits optimum coolant jet positioning,
eliminates time bending and aiming cool-
ant lines, reduces overall setup time and
prevents stringy chips collecting on cut-
ting tools, the company says. The design
incorporates a coolant/oil delivery passage
in the tool clamp that ensures a repeatable
jet fow even after multiple tool changes or
setups. This feature allows use of conven-
tional square shank toolholders as if they
were coolant-through because the coolant
travels through the clamp and can remain
semi-permanently plumbed into the high
pressure system.

George Products Company ofers a thread measurement add-on
to its Oasis inspection system, which instantly and simultaneously
measures external dimensions on profle views of parts. The soft-
ware's thread tool measures key components of thread geometry in
less than a second, says the company, including major, minor and pitch
diameters. Pitch distance as well as crest and root truncation are also
included. The thread tool also works on 60-degree, V-form straight
threads, and tolerances can be individually set for each characteris-
tic measured. Other capabilities include
threaded part sorting and thread identif-
cation in large batches. Inspection is said to
achieve accuracies to ±0.0001".
In operation, the inspected parameters
display on the system monitor, which
graphically shows the status of every com-
ponent in trafc light colors: green indicates within tolerance, yellow
indicates close to limits and red indicates out of tolerance. Dimen-
sions can be saved in the inspection report spreadsheet or im-
ported in real time to SPC (statistical process control). Alternatively,
the thread tool suits in-process thread production monitoring.

Mikron Multistep XT-200
Reduce your cost-per-part with Mikron
UNIQUE
The Mikron Multistep Machining System is outstanding in reaching
most competitive cost-per-part combined with unmatched flexibility
when machining close tolerance metal components.
Based on unique and unbeatable Modularity and Flexibility, the machine adapts quickly to changing production requirements guaranteeing always highest preci-
sion. With an automatic loading module and up to 4 individual machining modules, a maximum of 144 cutting tools can be used. Machining of complex and high
precision components on 5 ½ faces in a single clamping, simultaneously with 5 axis and two spindles sets this machine apart from other machining methods. The
less than 1 second chip-to-chip time translates into outstanding performance and truly cost effective efficiency.
